LONDON, February 1(>.\u2014The conferences in Downing Street between British cabinet ministers and a French mission regarding control of transportation in the British zone in the Rhineland ended at one-thirty o\u2019clock this afternoon, and the French mission, headed by M.Le Trocquer, Minister of Public Works, will leave for home tonight.Complete secrecy is being maintained in British official circles regarding the progress and nature of the discussions.The hesitancy of the British Government to permit the French to operate main line trains through Cologne, which would virtually sanction the Ruhr occupation, is believed here to have constituted a stumbling block in the conversations between the French mission and the British cabinet ministers.TENSION INCREASED BY SHOOTING OF TWO FRENCH SOLDIERS (Associated Press Despatch) ESSEN, Fed).16.\u2014Two French soldiers were wounded here last night 6y German security police, who interfered in a cafe altercation.The tension, which already was high, has been increased by the shooting, and today the French moved tanks into the city.The shooting incident arose from the soldiers demanding drinks in the cafe and being met with a refusal by a waiter.A row was started, the security police appeared and, the French claim, fired the first, shot.A guard of French soldiers has been placed in the Essen branch of the Reichsbank, but tbis is explained in a measure to protect the supply of electric current to the Kaiserhof Hotel, the French headquarters, which is fed through the bank\u2019s transmitters.Several cases of attempted sabotage are reported during the night from various parts of the Ruhr.One instance resulted in the death of a German railway worker, who was shot by a sentry as he tried to enter a round house in the hands of the occupying forces.The acts of sabotage were directed particularly against the lines of communication.During the night additional telephone and telegraph lines were cut at Dusseldorf, handicapping headquarters there considerably in keeping in touch with the Ruhr developments.Owing to the increased sabotage, severer measures are contemplated by the French.They have already arrested eight post office telegraph employees.Two burgomasters at Heme were also arrested for resistance to the forces of occupation.m 4 REPARATIONS CLAIMS ON GERMANY WAS CALLED FOR IN RESOLUTION Labor Member for Centre Winnipeg Supported His Resolution on Grounds of World Peace and Suggested that It Would Be a Fine Thing for Canada to Make This \u201cGesture,\u201d Which Might Be Imitated by Other Nations of the World\u2014Arguments Against the Resolution Included a Statement by Dr.P.Manion, of Fort William, that Inasmuch as This Would Amount to a Practical Exoneration of Germany, It Would at the Same Time Practically Condemn the Heroic Action of the Allies and of the United States Through the Years of the War.Liam T.Cowrrave (left).President of the Dail E:-eann, has offered Eamonn de Valera (centre) an armistice on condition that the followers of the insurgent leader surrender their arms and agree to submission of a plebiscite to the people of Ireland on the question of a Free State or a Republic.At the right is Cardinal Logue, whose Lenten pastoral scathingly denounces the continuation of civil war, declaring that a few fanatics are responsible.* & * & BROKE WORLD\u2019S PLANE SPEED RECORD.* « * » * * * * * * * * * « * « * * * » * * * « * (Associated Press Despatch.)

The reparations situation, said Mr.Woodsworth, was largely, responsible for the chaos now prevailing in Europe.Canada has been too prone in the past to leave Great Britain to take the lead in important matters.The time had come for Canadians to determine such questions for themselves.It was to be I remembered that British policies ' might represent rather the opinion of a esmaM number of diplomats or even financiers than the ommen of the great mass of the British people.And so with bermany.mo Germany of the war lords was not the Germany of the bluk of the people.The German people had repud-jiated the Kaiser, and it was anomalous to saddle upon the Germans of ! a generation to come the responsib-| ility for acts to which they could not have been parties.Mr.Woodsworth said his resolution was based upon the interests of world peace.The great desideratum in Europe today was a larger measure of peace and good-will.QUOTED LLOYD GEORGE.Reverting to Germany\u2019s responsibility of the war, Mr.Woodsworth said that although the Treaty of Versailles had been based upon the sibility for the war, based upon the principle of Germany\u2019s sole responsibility, yet Lloyd British Premier, had stated in later « « » » TO VOTE ON BRITISH DEBT BILL TODAY (Associated Press Despatch.)
